DPS is the job of DPS.

Either one works for me. But how is the other tank pushing 1000 more DPS if he is also mitigating? The tank's mitigation allows me to DPS more as healer since I can spend my gcds on rocks instead of cure 2s, which in turn makes up the 1000 dps difference, and no mobs are trying to eat my face. Sounds like a good run to me. Wanna spend a whole run in offensive stance since there are no agro issues? Cool! But my DPS goes way down too keeping you alive. Especially considering the majority of DF tanks seem to have forgotten to put their defensive CDs on their bars.

I'm not quite sure when peeps will evaluate DPS as a group instead of having e-peen vision on their own personal DPS. Tank and healer DPS in particular is a synergy. In any content that isn't over-geared the offense of one is traded by the offense of the other, especially 4-man.

You seem to be under the impression that tank stance is the best mitigation in the game.
